Close friend of mine got hired by them over summer - she applied straight out of training. UK native though.

I know of three people recently taken on, at least two of them with minimal hours overall.

Were those that were taken on with below the published minimum hours either already working for Eastern in another capacity, well connected to senior people within Eastern or recommended by senior people within Eastern?

I don't have the 1000 hour minimum but slapped in my CV several weeks ago and have heard nothing.

I don't know; but not working for them already. I'd be surprised if at least one of them had connections.

Maybe it's an age thing ... ? my mate is getting on ... !!!

Are all the new hires for ABZ? Any other bases available?

Hello,

I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on the recruitment process in 2019, interview questions etc?

Thank you
